Sugar coat it any way you like, it’s still not going to make Adelaide United play any better or bring a trophy to South Australia… 5 games this season alone have proven that! Unfortunately I won’t be watching this match (I know, tell me about it!)… instead, I’ve got a dirty weekend* planned in a [...]
After some impressive midweek UCL predictions, I fancied my chances of picking this weeks La Liga results too; so I gave our resident La Liga experts Head or Tails a rest from their prediction duties… and had a crack myself.Warning: Back me at your own risk! I predict:Espanyol 1 v 2 Real MadridAthletic Bilbao 1 [...]
Oh man! We’re back to domestic duties already!? Give me the flamboyance of European action any day. I predict:Everton 2 v 0 West BromArsenal 1 v 0 FulhamChelsea 2 v 0 WiganMiddlesbrough 0 v 2 LiverpoolHull City 1 v 1 BlackburnWest Ham 1 v 1 Man CityBolton 2 v 1 NewcastleAston Villa 3 v 0 [...]
I am still speechless… It’s not often you see a half volley struck with such quality from a distance… oh wait a minute, we’re talking about Karagounis… sorry, yes you do! Watch this!Panathinaikos, with Henk Ten Cate at the helm, is my dark horse for this tournament… forget the quarter finals, look out semi’s! Goal [...]
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine you’re playing PES ’09 against your kid sister. She’s bad, I mean really bad and can’t string two passes together, let alone an attack on goal. She also happens to be playing with controller 1 and by default is the home team, but that doesn’t faze you [...]
Truthfully, I didn’t see this one coming. I mean Liverpool have been very inconsistent of late and well Madrid have scored 10 goals in their last two domestic matches, so I was almost expecting Los Merengues to come away with more than just a slap in the face. But I guess they can thank Yossi [...]
Ah Didier… I’ve questioned your abilities many times on this site (namely here, here and here) and last night I thought you’d actually made me eat my words when you scored the winner… touché old friend, but don’t get carried away cause there’s still much work to be done if you and your team are [...]
Calamitous defending, dreadful goalkeeping, wasteful attacks and a ruled out (off side?) goal… and that was all in the first half! Yep, Atletico are looking as disjointed as ever and have a lot of work to get through to the next phase. Porto on the other hand, only have to show up to the match [...]
To be frank, Lyon should have won this battle, instead, they now have to go to the Camp Nou in a fortnights time and have to put in a very special performance to even have a chance of making it through to the next phase… oh, and just so you understand how special a performance [...]
They scored 1, but how on earth was it not 5 or 6… or 20 even!?Arsenal completely dominated this match as Roma held on for the ride, so it’s a pity the Gunners couldn’t walk away from it with more to show for their efforts. Abu Diaby’s poise and strength was a welcome return for [...]
Were there two teams playing in this match?… I’m pretty sure that till the second half Inter didn’t really touch the ball. In fact it actually looked more like a training run for United and especially Ronaldo who had half a dozen chances in the first 30min alone.As it stands, the score probably favours Inter, [...]
The war of words begun long ago with players and coaches alike laying claim that they will all be progressing to the next stages of the UCL.Fernando Torres: Real Madrid will find Liverpool hard to beat.Guss Hiddink tells Chelsea: No more excuses.Jurgen Klinsmann: Confident in Luca Toni. I predict:Chelsea 1 v 0 JuventusReal Madrid 2 [...]
Yes that right chumps… the Droog and CRon were wearing unmarked versions of the Nike Mercurial Superfly’s in training earlier this year and Daniel Alavez even wore them in a match against Villareal, but I’ve been a little reluctant to write about them, mainly for the fact that now I truly believe Nike are taking [...]
Finally, FINALLY! The UEFA Champions League is back and as always I’d made some bold claims when the knockout draw was first announced. Looking back, there is probably only one set of matches I’ll revoke from those claims as I think Chelsea, with Guus at the helm, will just get by Juve… when Scolari was [...]
It’s clear that I overrated some teams chances of winning this weekend… especially those the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, who week in and week out continue to disappoint. At the other end of the ladder, Bolton have started to make a charge for the top ten, as have Sunderland and Tottenham… the latter managing [...]
